Maybe we should suspend clock for those affected.

Yup. I just tried getting on and timed out. Unfortunately, I don't manage the box. These outages are usually rectified after 15-30 minutes.[/color:9633cef421]
so, I guess we will just wait......hopefully it'll be up and going again soon.

That's good that it's working again! Clock will be shut off because it's within' 3 hours of closing time anyway...which I will probably do around this time everyday anyway...I am usually around a pc between 6p and 8p EST...since the clock is supposed to shut off @ 9p EST...shutting it off within 3 hrs of closing won't make much difference...
...although...
...since I didn't state it in my original post...what do you guys think of shutting the clock off on SAT & SUN? I personally believe weekends are for family...but..let me know....

I think weekends are when most of us are at home and have the time to do this. with proxies set, I'd say we continue as this has been pretty quick and we have a nice group of owners here.

Sorry guys, just tried again and saw I was up - had tried several times when the system was down to no avail. The clock says I took six hours to pick, but it had not been more than a couple hours since I checked. Anyway, we are off and running again.
And I wuz robbed on the Tovar pick, I was very confident he'd be there and was my only proxy when he went right before my pick. Even though he underachieved for me in the last league, he is a great and versatile pick. I was just watching a DVD of the Twins- Red Sox game at the end of the 1967 season (2nd to last of the season). One of the oldest (if not the oldest) full game broadcast in color from that era. Anyway Tovar is such a tiny guy, but fun to watch. And Killebrew was a HORSE! The following year (1968), Tovar played all nine positions as part of a promotion at Met stadium and struck out Reggie in the first inning! Look up the box score, it's kind of a kick.

I am all in favor of family being what's important, but I have to agree with Paul on this, weekends are hay making time in terms of drafts. As long as we get it shut down at night, I'd vote for keeping the clock going on weekend days. And as we have seen these drafts are so wide open at 60M that it really doesn't hurt to get skipped once or twice, as Franky had said earlier.
Spock out... (I got Star Trek Season 1 for Father's Day). Something pretty special about getting your teenage kids almost wetting their pants laughing so hard at the same things we laughed at in the 70's and 80's in college watching it in syndication.
